Maybe some other kids don’t like you
because you are different — the clothes you wear, or the way you speak. Maybe
they think you are weird. Maybe they tell their friends not to be your friend.
Maybe they don’t want to share their toys with you or to play with you. Maybe
it’s because you once did something wrong that made them unhappy.

It’s tough when you feel nobody likes
you. It’s tough when you think you are not good enough. You can feel lonely, or
sad, or angry. Sometimes we all feel this way.

But do you know that there’s Someone
who likes you ALL the time. He doesn’t care about what you wear, or how your
talk or what you’ve done. Even if you made other people really, really mad.
He’s there for you. And He loves you always.

What’s His name? Jesus!

Story:

Once upon a time, there was a woman
called Rahab. She lived in a town called Jericho. People in the town did not
like her very much. Because she did things that were not very good.

One day, she met two men. They were
Israelites from the desert. They wanted to find out some information about
Jericho. They were spies.

Have your parents or teachers ever
asked you to do a big and important job? Perhaps it was to perform on stage or
give a speech in front of many people. Or to organize an event. Or to lead a
group to do something big. Maybe it feels too difficult for you. Maybe you were
afraid. What would you do?

What if someone big came to help you?
Say an experienced senior, your parents or your teacher? This person not only
helps you but even prepares everything you need to do the big job. All you had
to do was just to follow the person and trust that they will take care of
everything. Suddenly the BIG job seems smaller and easier. Wouldn’t that be
great?
